Shirley's email alerts are great, except that they don't want you to reply to them.  They want you to click on a URL that sends you to to a form mail page!  Form mail is great when you aren't at your own machine.  But, when I'm at my own machine and I want to reply to an email, I click on reply, imagine that.  It saves me time and I get to keep a copy of my reply, and I am more likely to reply.  They put the "don't reply" message at the very bottom of the message.  Most folks won't read that far and will probably reply anyway.

Irritating and slow banner page.

Up as of 7-14-01 (maybe sooner).  Has a link to register to vote.  has nice page of legislative initiatives and links to local news sources.

It may have an email alert under the guise of the "Get Involved," page.  You can subscribe or unsubscribe but you don't really know if you'll get alerts unless you are volunteering.

No email to campaign or candidate :(

Big problems when viewed with Netscape Communicator :(

"On the record" and "biography" pages have html errors that cause overlapping text.(10-15-01)

Very well done sign up for email alerts on the home page.  Very nice looking site.  It is one of the few sites that actually shows the election date. :)

Voter registration and absentee ballot information.  Scrolling news box.

Takes a long time to load.

Email address is prominent. Links to voter registration & absentee ballot.  Very interesting "press room" scheme (see managing public relations on your website) but press folks have to pay a price (by signing up) to take advantage of it.

Nice job on "Voter Info"

I like the straight forward issues pages.

Banner page :-(

Nice site.

As of July 26, William has revamped his state house campaign site into a city council election site and has updated his picture.  Still has some work to do.

Up as of 8-1-01 but under development.

As of 10-3-01 it's up!  It has email alerts but they are hard to find.  You have to scroll to the bottom of the "Join us" page.  It's worth it.

Try the "Know Your Neighborhood" game: The most unusual feature on any of these websites.

Up as of 8-2-01 but under development.

Uses frames.

Doesn't look too hot in Netscape browser.

No email address on the website :-(

Not obvious how to find home page.

The white letters on red background with purple links hurt my eyes. :-(

Attractive and straightforward site.

Phone number is on the website 8-)

Has calendar 8-) but it is hidden in the "Meet Carla" link.

Good voter info page even shows runoff date.

Active

Better than a brochure site but incomplete on 6-30-01.  Site is down as of 7-14.

Up as of 8-3-01 (maybe sooner)

review to come

Quiet a nice looking site, good Q&A page.  :-)

Hurray, the first site that describes district boundaries.

This Macromedia Flash site might require visitors to download the flash plug-in.  Then, the navigation is funky, non-standard, and likely to confuse folks:  You have to click on the "X" to return to the home page.  Hitting the "back" button from any page backs you completely out of the website.   You can't book mark anything but the home page.  You can't bookmark the calendar, for example.

Background text on sub pages "I believe that this election .. " is almost unreadable.  None of the text can be highlighted and copied.

That aside, this is an attractive, good-performing, comprehensive website.  It could be just as attractive with standard web navigation.

Active

Pretty; have to go to home page to see some menu items (like "contributions" and "contact")  Email is prominent.  Folks with small screens (most folks) may not scroll down to see "votegerds" email address or pictures.

Active

Modest but pleasant site.

Titles at the top of the page overlap in Netscape :-(

Has form mail and search :-)

Make sure to click on "Issues" there is quite a bit there.
